G'day, Below I have included my script to set the synaptics settings which works acceptably for me. I would like to have the time to work on the xorg synaptics code to better support the "click" touchpads like the Z2 - but with this config most things I need work.
Basically, I: - Disable Taps on the main touchpad area - Set very big bottom corner tap zones to cover the left and right button areas on the touchpad - Note - a single finger tap in those zones activates the appropriate button - it is not necessary to "click" the touchpad - Single finger Depress (click) the touchpad anywhere activates a left mouse click - Two finger click anywhere is middle-mouse click - Three finger click anywhere is right-mouse click - Two fingers to scroll - and set the friction on two finger scrolling very low (suits me). - Tap and touch on left button zone to initiate drag&drop (I usually use left hand index finger). Drag using right hand index finger anywhere on touchpad. Tap anywhere to finish the drop. The sensitivity and feel of the touchpad is really very nice. You can read a little more of my experience with ubuntu natty on the Z2 at: https://lists.launchpad.net/sony-vaio-z-series/msg02256.html Note that suspend, intel video, blutetooth, wlan, brightness and audio controls and microphone all work fine out of the box with default 2.6.38-11 kernel. When booted while docked, the radeon (and all the dock hardware) is detected fine (I have not tried X on the radeon yet). However, booting while docked sometimes causes a 30 second timeout at boot on the Marvel storage controller in the Dock (I haven't tried any of the workarounds yet). Docking while booted does not detect the new hardware present. #!/bin/bash <<EOF sed 's/^#.*$//' | sed 's/ *= */=/' | xargs synclient LeftEdge = 2900 RightEdge = 4000 TopEdge = 1620 BottomEdge = 3900 FingerLow = 24 FingerHigh = 29 FingerPress = 255 MaxTapTime = 180 MaxTapMove = 221 MaxDoubleTapTime = 180 SingleTapTimeout = 180 ClickTime = 100 FastTaps = 1 EmulateMidButtonTime = 75 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ = 280 EmulateTwoFingerMinW = 6 VertScrollDelta = 100 HorizScrollDelta = 100 VertEdgeScroll = 0 HorizEdgeScroll = 0 CornerCoasting = 0 VertTwoFingerScroll = 1 HorizTwoFingerScroll = 0 MinSpeed = 1 MaxSpeed = 1.75 AccelFactor = 0.0398089 TrackstickSpeed = 40 EdgeMotionMinZ = 29 EdgeMotionMaxZ = 159 EdgeMotionMinSpeed = 1 EdgeMotionMaxSpeed = 401 EdgeMotionUseAlways = 0 TouchpadOff = 0 LockedDrags = 1 LockedDragTimeout = 5000 RTCornerButton = 2 RBCornerButton = 3 LTCornerButton = 0 LBCornerButton = 1 TapButton1 = 0 TapButton2 = 1 TapButton3 = 0 ClickFinger1 = 1 ClickFinger2 = 2 ClickFinger3 = 3 CircularScrolling = 0 CircScrollDelta = 0.1 CircScrollTrigger = 0 CircularPad = 0 PalmDetect = 1 PalmMinWidth = 9 PalmMinZ = 199 CoastingSpeed = 20 CoastingFriction = 10 # PressureMotionMinZ = 29 # PressureMotionMaxZ = 159 PressureMotionMinFactor = 1 PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1 GrabEventDevice = 1 TapAndDragGesture = 1 AreaLeftEdge = 0 AreaRightEdge = 0 AreaTopEdge = 0 AreaBottomEdge = 0 JumpyCursorThreshold = 0 EOF On 7 September 2011 07:35, Damien R <damie...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 6 September 2011 10:00, Eva Brucherseifer > <eva.bruchersei...@basyskom.de> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > my current conclusion is to update the kernel first.
